Using Pipelines CLI
-------------------

In addition to the [Pipelines page](/acquia-cloud-platform/features/pipelines/ui) in the Cloud Platform interface, you can also manage your Pipelines by using a Pipelines client from the command line.

Note

*   The command-line client does not support Bitbucket at this time.
*   Installing this command-line client is optional, and not required for Pipelines to function with your application.

Getting started
---------------

To manage Pipelines from the command line, you must first [install and configure the Pipelines command-line client](/acquia-cloud-platform/features/pipelines/cli/install).

For information about the available commands for the Pipelines client, see [Using the Cloud Platform Pipelines client](/acquia-cloud-platform/features/pipelines/cli/commands). For Node.js application-specific commands and syntax, see [Getting started with Node.js applications and environments](/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/node-js/start).

Connecting to GitHub from the command line
------------------------------------------

After you have installed the command-line client, you must connect it to your GitHub account. To do so, use the procedures described on the [Configuring the GitHub to Pipelines client connection](/acquia-cloud-platform/features/pipelines/cli/github/connect) documentation page.

Optionally, you can also [migrate your code repository from Cloud Platform to GitHub](/acquia-cloud-platform/features/pipelines/cli/github/migrate).

Note

These steps are not required when connecting using the Cloud Platform Pipelines user interface.

Logging and debugging
---------------------

You can review the results of each job with the `pipelines status` and `logs` commands. For a full list of commands available to you, see [Using the Cloud Platform Pipelines client](/acquia-cloud-platform/features/pipelines/cli/commands) for more information.

Tutorials and examples
----------------------

In addition to this product documentation, you can learn more about how to use Pipelines in the [tutorials and example code](https://github.com/acquia/pipelines-examples) at GitHub.
